RIPE-554, it is time for an update
by Sander Steffann 11 Apr '14

11 Apr '14

Hi WG, The authors of RIPE-554 have received suggestions for improving RIPE-554 over the years. Because we didn't want to publish a new document every couple of months (new document = new number = more confusion among users than it is worth) we just collected them. And now, almost 2 years after RIPE-554 was published, we think it is time to work on the next version! So, IPv6 WG, what would you like to see changed in RIPE-554? More/less explanatory text, more device types, adding or removing certain RFCs etc etc etc? Please let us know! To the WG chairs: can you please provide us with a slot at RIPE 68 so we can discuss this topic there? Cheers, Sander

IPv6 troubleshooting procedures for helpdesks
by Jan Zorz ＠ go6.si 11 Apr '14

11 Apr '14

Dear IPv6 WG, As presented at BCOP BoF at last meeting in Athens, we finished the 00 version of the draft of the document titled "IPv6 troubleshooting for helpdesks". Initial Co-authors: Lee Howard, John Jason Brzozowski, David Freedman, Jason Fesler, Tim Chown, Sander Steffann, Chris Grundemann, Jan Žorž Short description: “IPv6 troubleshooting for helpdesks” is a community BCOP document, intended to provide a starting point for technical support staff at ISPs or enterprise IT helpdesks in supporting IPv6. Problems with IPv6 are very rare, but fear of the unknown has prevented or delayed many organizations from rolling out IPv6 to their users, when all technical problems have been solved. While this document cannot encompass all possible problems, it should provide a solid first step for front-line support personnel. You can find the first draft (and all following drafts in the future) here: http://go6.si/ipv6-troubleshooting-for-helpdesks/ Find the link to PDF at the bottom of the text and also the PDF attached. All comments, suggestions and ideas are (as always) more than welcome. BCOP TF is aiming to bring together the operators to write and document the best current *operational* practice and cooperate with various RIPE WGs to get the feedback and work on technical validity of the documents. This one is IPv6 related, therefore we asked the IPv6 WG chairs to cooperation and getting the work done in this working group. If you would like to join the authors working-forces forming, please join us at BCOP TF meeting on Monday evening after the Plenary agenda finishes and maybe even subscribe to the mailinglist. http://www.ripe.net/ripe/groups/tf/best-current-operational-practices-task-… https://www.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/bcop Cheers and see you in Warsaw, Jan Zorz

Re: [ipv6-wg] I thought e-mail over IPv6 was easy

I need to send mail directly instead of "use the provider relay" because the provider relay doesn't allow me to check whether mail is still queued - not all the world has reliable mail delivery, unfortunately and for the people I work with, this is an issue. For IPv4, it's easy for an ISP to set up stub forward & reverse records and that's what I got away with for many, many years. For IPv6, the situation is different. As discussed, users have more than one address and hence may need need more than one forward/reverse pair, and the address may not be predictable. This gives new problems: * If the connection is big enough to warrant delegation, then making FCrDNS work for IPv6 is doable. For small businesses and home power users however, this may not be feasible. * Making forward & reverse match for every /48 of every customer is a challenge; * Delegating may not be feasible. How do you delegate to "John's pet animal and sushi shop"? The guy probably doesn't run a DNS server to delegate to.. * Making Dynamic DNS updates work between ISP and customer is a challenge at best; * I have not seen any portal solutions, to let the customer handle this. Even with XS4all, for whom I am a customer, doesn't have an automated way for this and the current workaround involves manual intervention with all it's nasty scaling properties. * I don't think that customer-specific subdomains and SPF-records will scale either. I don't hear much of this new, IPv6-specific problem. Comments? Geert Jan

All, I saw the headline for this article and thought, "wtf, e-mail just worked over IPv6 from the time I put the AAAA record in the DNS". But I went ahead and had a look, and it is actually pretty interesting: http://engineering.linkedin.com/email/sending-and-receiving-emails-over-ipv6 Cheers, -- Shane

IPv6 Deployment in Access Networks, CFP
by Aleksi Suhonen 09 Apr '14

09 Apr '14

Hello, The Finnish Communications Regulatory Authority (ficora.fi) recently published recommendations for IPv6 adoption in consumer grade Internet connections. TREX hosts an annual seminar for ISPs. We're putting together the programme for this year's seminar[1] and we're trying to help Ficora in their push to get IPv6 on the map in Finland. [1] http://www.trex.fi/2014/seminar.html So I'm looking for presentations from ISPs that have already deployed IPv6 in their Internet access products. The presentations should be rather technical, but there should also be a section on lessons learnt and on future plans, if there are any. Another aspect that the presentations should highlight is what prompted the network wide upgrade and what benefits have been achieved. Yours filled with hope, -- +358 4567 02048 / http://www.trex.fi/ Aleksi Suhonen / TREX Regional Exchanges Oy You say "potato", I say "closest-exit."
